A community blood drive is scheduled at Unity Health Hospital later this month, giving residents a chance to help save lives and receive special donor rewards.
The Donor Champions Blood Drive, hosted in partnership with Our Blood Institute, will take place Thursday, February 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Hubach Rooms A and C at Unity Health.
Organizers encourage donors to step up and give blood to help maintain critical supplies for hospitals and emergency care across the region. Participants are asked to bring a valid photo ID to donate.
As part of the Donor Champions promotion, donors will receive an exclusive T-shirt while supplies last. Additional thank-you gifts include a free entry to the Museum of Discovery and a free bundtlet from Nothing Bundt Cakes.
Appointments can be scheduled in advance through Our Blood Institute, though walk-ins may be accepted based on availability. Officials say winter months often bring blood shortages, making each donation especially important.
